Interesting format! If you teamed up with an illustrator, you could add that much more depth to your content.

I must say, however, your story needs an editor.

@mlehan: I tried that once, here. It...could have worked out better.

That's exactly what I'm doing! I use a webcomic model for my novel, and have regular subscribers twice a week getting up to date through an RSS feed. And so far it's working well, keeping an audience that keeps coming back for more. Randy Henderson's assumptions have been tested in the field, and found to work.

@James Ryan: It's interesting. The monthly format was only a restriction based on publishing issues in the first place--I'm not sure why so many magazines are trying to preserve it.

That's probably why the best way to do it is to use a model akin to what webcomics do. A kind of a blog that can be supported via merchandise (collected works) and advertising content (haha! Well, in the far future), that presents short stories continually, rather than in monthly batches. That way, people can just tag the site with their RSS feeders.

I have to give Paris Hilton props. When it comes to movies, she seems to be in on the joke.

@bonniegrrl:

It's funny, last night I showed my bf "Once More With Feeling" for the first time. He loved it. And Giles? I'm confused with viewing him in a Father role and a Sexy role.

I need therapy.
